You could use the system restore point created at the time you installed XPSP2 B1.

Um guess you did not archive the files when you installed sp2?

Well guess what, now your screwed. Sorry m8. I feel for ya.

You didnt have any choice, you HAD to archive the files when you installed B1- it was intentionally done that way so you could uninstall it and upgrade to the later builds.
